Endurance Coach

Sunday, October 24, 2010

My apologies! The summer and early fall was busier than ever. Summer was followed by "A" races for all of my athletes and myself. USAT Youth Nationals, Ironman Louisville, Ironman Wisconsin, IronKids Nationals, Long Course Nationals and fall marathons - never a dull moment.
It is a hectic time for a coach. I spent many hours on the phone talking through the smallest details with every athlete. At the end of the day, I didn't have much left for a blog.
Aha! But now it is the off season. A few weeks of more sleep and less training have done us all good. My goal is to post 2-3 times a week. I can't wait!
